Father John Stanton emphasizes importance of Easter

As we sing ‘Jesus Christ is Risen Today’ in celebration of Easter Sunday, we remember the dreadful killing of 17 students and teachers at Parkland’s Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. The event reminds us of the violence which is never far away in our society. The adults have failed this generation of students who are now taking the lead to address the root problems of gun control, mental health and identifying potentially violent people.

Knowing that Jesus himself was subjected to terrible violence and declared ‘peace’ when he was raised from the dead, we turn to God that we, who share in the power of his resurrection, may always be people of peace and root out the evil of violence which threatens our lives together.
